Chapter 158 At a height of 1.5 meters, legs trembled and legs gave way, twins attacked from both sid
Magistrate Fang felt that he must have bumped into the Grand Duke Jupiter today, or that he hadn't checked the almanac before going out.
First, his worldview was shattered by the decadent music at the geothermal center; then, he witnessed the Confucian classics being turned into lewd and obscene words at the academy; and finally, at the trade center, the pure gold black card almost blinded his already dim eyes.
He wandered aimlessly through the streets of the inner city, clutching the half-eaten, cold steamed bun tightly in his hand—something he had deliberately left behind to constantly remind himself to "never forget his original aspirations."
"Go home... I want to go home..."
Magistrate Fang muttered to himself, but his feet seemed to have a mind of their own, and he inexplicably headed towards the northernmost part of the inner city.
There, two towering giant towers have just been completed.
That was the second phase of the Qin family's newly launched "Cloud Top Apartment" project, which was said to be thirty stories high, where one could reach out and touch the stars.
What horrified Magistrate Fang the most was that at the very top of these two towers, there was a crystal-clear "sky road" that looked as if it were carved from ice.
That's the sky bridge connecting the two towers.
Under the winter sun, the corridor was almost completely transparent, and only at the angle of the sunlight refraction could one vaguely see the edge of the shimmering light.
"This...this is a path for people to walk on?"
Magistrate Fang craned his neck, his hat almost falling off: "Does the Qin family think they can fly to the moon?!"
Driven by a kind of "suicidal" curiosity, or perhaps wanting to see what other tricks the Qin family could pull, Magistrate Fang, along with several wealthy businessmen looking at houses, hitched a ride on the legendary "water-powered elevator."
"Buzz—"
A slight feeling of weightlessness came over me.
However, in a short while, the elevator door opened.
A biting gust of cold wind howled in, making Magistrate Fang's thin official robe flutter wildly, and his face rippled with the wind.
"arrive."
The security guard leading the way pointed ahead expressionlessly: "Please proceed to the connecting corridor experience area."
Magistrate Fang looked in the direction the finger was pointing, and his legs immediately went weak, causing him to kneel on the ground with a thud.
There is no road ahead.
It's empty.
It was a corridor made entirely of specially made, thickened tempered glass, nearly a hundred meters long, suspended dozens of meters in the air. Below were pedestrians and vehicles that looked like ants, and above was the sky that seemed within reach.
Walking on it feels like floating on air; a slight misstep could send you plummeting into an abyss and turning you into a bloody mess.
"This...this isn't a road! This is clearly an execution ground!"
Magistrate Fang lay on the ground, clinging tightly to the pillar by the door, refusing to move forward an inch no matter what.
"Lord Fang, are your legs going weak already?"
A youthful voice, full of energy yet tinged with a hint of mischievous mockery, came from behind.
Magistrate Fang turned around and saw the Qin family's twin brothers, Qin Feng and Qin Yun, flanking Madam Qin, Su Wan, who had just returned from the commercial center.
The twins were wearing identical black overalls today, with various jingling tools and tape measures hanging from their waists.
Those were the Qin family's unique "engineer" uniforms, which made the two of them appear tall and slender, full of youthful vigor and wildness.
Su Wan, who was sandwiched between them, looked rather pale.
She was still reeling from the shock of Qin Lie's gold card when these two little devils half-coaxed and half-tricked her into coming here, saying they were there to inspect some kind of "miracle of light and shadow".
"This is what you call...a miracle?"
Su Wan stood at the entrance of the corridor, looking down into the bottomless emptiness. Her cheeks, which had been burning because of Qin Lie, turned deathly pale in an instant.
She instinctively shrank back, wanting to grab onto something for support.
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law."
Qin Feng, the fifth brother, chuckled. As if he had planned this all along, he naturally reached out and put his arm around her lower back, using a little force to block her from retreating.
"This glass took us thousands of attempts to fire. It's so strong that even if you brought my brother's warhorse up here to dance, it wouldn't break, let alone my sister-in-law."
"I'm not going..." Su Wan's voice was trembling. The physiological fear from the height made her legs weak and unable to stand. "It's too high... I'm dizzy."
"You should feel dizzy."
Qin Yun, the sixth brother, stood in front of her, blocking the cold wind from coming towards her.
A slightly mischievous smile played on his face, which was exactly like Qin Feng's.
"If your sister-in-law isn't dizzy, how can we help her?"
"Come on, sister-in-law, the first step is the hardest."
Qin Yun stretched out his hand; his palm was large and dry, with thin calluses on his fingertips from years of handling machinery.
"Grab me."
Su Wan had no other choice at this point.
Qin Feng behind her was like a wall blocking her retreat, while in front of her was a vast expanse of sky. She could only reach out tremblingly and grab Qin Yun's hand.
It was like grasping at the only straw.
"Walk."
The twins looked at each other, a glint of triumph flashing in their eyes.
The three of them stepped onto the transparent glass corridor.
"what!"
The moment her foot touched the glass, Su Wan couldn't help but gasp.
The visual illusion of being suspended in mid-air with no foothold caused her brain to freeze instantly. She felt herself falling, her body sliding uncontrollably downwards.
"Be careful!"
Qin Feng, quick as a flash, pulled her into his arms from behind.
It was an extremely tight, seamless embrace.
Su Wan's back pressed tightly against the young man's broad, hot, and rapidly heaving chest. Through the thin gauze shirt, she could even feel the powerful beat of his heart inside his chest.
"Thump, thump, thump."
"Sister-in-law, hold on tight."
Qin Feng lowered his head, his chin resting on the crook of her neck.
The wind was strong high in the sky, which ruffled Su Wan's hair. A few strands of hair brushed against Qin Feng's face, carrying her unique fragrance.
Don't look down there.
He whispered in her ear, his voice slightly blurred by the wind, yet carrying a reassuring warmth:
"There's a cliff below."
"It's me behind you."
"Does my sister-in-law want to fall... or does she want to lean on me?"
Su Wan had completely lost the ability to think at this point, and could only instinctively entrust all her weight to the person behind her.
"The wind...the wind is too strong..."
Su Wan's palm was burned by the undisguised desire and heat of a young man.
"Stop...stop talking..."
She was so embarrassed that she tried to pull her hand back, but Qin Yun held it down firmly.
"Sister-in-law, don't look down there."
Qin Yun moved closer to her, their noses almost touching. The cold wind from high above made his cheeks icy, but his breath was scalding hot.
"Look at me."
Look into my eyes.
"My eyes...only see my sister-in-law."
And behind them.
Qin Feng was not to be outdone.
He held Su Wan's waist with one hand, while his other hand slipped under the hem of her fox fur coat.
"The wind is blowing up from below."
His large, warm hands, through the hem of her skirt, precisely covered the fabric on the outside of her thighs that was fluttering in the wind.
Then, apply slight pressure and tighten inwards.
The pressure was less like pressing down on the skirt and more like... measuring her leg circumference.
"Hmm!"
Su Wan froze.
A pincer attack from both sides.
In front of him was Qin Yun's aggressive gaze and his burning heartbeat; behind him was Qin Feng's unruly hand and his body pressed tightly together.
Beneath my feet lies a dizzying abyss.
This extreme fear and extreme shame intertwined, amplifying her senses to an extreme degree.
The sensation of every breeze brushing against my skin, the warmth of every breath we shared, were amplified countless times.
"I'm not leaving... I want to go back..."
Su Wan finally broke down; her legs went weak, and she was about to slide to the ground.
"Don't move."
Qin Feng pulled her up with both arms, leaving her feet dangling in the air.
"Did your legs go weak, sister-in-law?"
He chuckled softly, the joy in his laughter impossible to conceal:
"It's good that it's soft."
"Once it goes soft... it can only cling to us."
"Sixth Brother."
Qin Feng winked at his younger brother in front of him:
"My sister-in-law can't walk anymore, shall we... carry her in her sedan chair?"
Qin Yun understood immediately.
Instead of lifting Su Wan's feet as usual, he turned around and squatted down with his back to her.
"Come up."
Qin Yun patted his broad back:
"Sister-in-law, let me carry you on my back."
"On this spot, the only stable position is when you're lying on my back."
Su Wan was completely disoriented at this point and could only obediently lie on Qin Yun's back.
Qin Yun lifted her legs with both hands and stood up steadily.
"Hurry up."
He gave a word of advice, then strode off, walking as if on flat ground on the glass corridor that made one's legs weak.
Qin Feng did not leave.
He walked behind her, reaching out to lightly protect Su Wan's waist to prevent her from slipping.
But more often than not, his hands are...
Playing with the hem of her skirt.
Or, under the guise of escorting her, he might occasionally touch her exposed calves.
"Sister-in-law."
Qin Yun, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke up.
"What's wrong?" Su Wan asked, her voice muffled and tinged with lingering fear as she lay on his back.
"Your heartbeat..."
Qin Yun felt the two soft mounds pressing against his back, and heard the rapid heartbeat through his clothes. A triumphant smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"My back hurts from the impact."
"Is my sister-in-law... also developing feelings for us?"
"Nonsense! I was scared!" Su Wan said angrily, biting his shoulder.
"hiss--"
Qin Yun gasped, but his steps became even lighter:
"Bite it."
"It's good that my sister-in-law left a tooth mark."
"When we go downstairs later... I'll leave one on my sister-in-law too..."
"Where should we leave one?" Qin Feng interjected from behind, his tone full of anticipation. "I want to leave one too. My sister-in-law stepped on my foot earlier, and I have to get my revenge."
"Then...the inner thighs?"
Qin Yun made a serious suggestion:
"The meat there is tender; one bite... and it will stay red for days."
"You...you two bastards!"
Su Wan's scolding dissipated in the wind high in the sky, sounding more like a distorted form of coquetry.
……
At the entrance of the connecting corridor.
Magistrate Fang, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, was now watching this scene tremblingly through his fingers.
He saw that the twins, who usually seemed sunny and cheerful, now looked like two wolf cubs hunting a little white rabbit.
One carried it on their back, the other protected it.
What appears to be protection is actually... all about possessiveness!
The glass walkway is transparent.
From the angle from which Magistrate Fang was lying down, the scene was even more shocking.
He could clearly see that Madam Qin was clinging to Sixth Master Qin's back, her skirt cascading down. And Fifth Master Qin, walking behind, had his hand... his hand was lingering on the edge of her skirt, carried by the wind!
"This...this is in the sky!"
"There are gods watching over us!"
"Aren't you...aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
Magistrate Fang pounded the floor in grief and indignation, only to find that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
Too high.
That's terrifying.
That's just too...making me blush and my heart race.
"This isn't a connecting corridor at all..."
Magistrate Fang watched the three figures gradually disappear into the distance, observing their ambiguous entanglement that seemed to float in the air.
"This is clearly... the Magpie Bridge!"
"It's still that kind of... Magpie Bridge leading to the Spider Cave!"
Just then, a strong wind blew in.
Magistrate Fang's official hat, which he had worn all the way, finally gave way under the weight. It was blown around by the wind, tumbled and rolled, and fell down the edge of the glass corridor.
"My hat!"
Magistrate Fang subconsciously reached out to grab it, but only grabbed a handful of cold wind.
He watched helplessly as the hat that symbolized his official power spun and fell from a height of a hundred meters, eventually becoming an invisible black dot.
"It's over."
Magistrate Fang collapsed to the ground, unable to shed a tear.
"The hat is gone... and so is the official's authority..."
"I... have become a complete joke."
Just when he was in despair, a piece of paper floated down in front of him.
That was something that just fell out of Qin Feng's pocket.
Magistrate Fang picked it up and saw that it contained a sketch.
That was the initial design draft for this "sky bridge".
And on the edge of that drawing, in a coded language that only twins could understand, there was a note:
[Wind pressure test passed. Skirt hem angle: 45 degrees. Best observation point: Directly behind. Note: Remember to make the glass more transparent next time.]
"puff--"
Magistrate Fang coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Is this what they call a "miracle of light and shadow"?!
This is what they call "industrial crystallization"?!
This is clearly a massive peeping device that these two brats set up just to get a glimpse under their sister-in-law's skirt!
"Madman...pervert...sexual freak..."
Magistrate Fang cursed as he crawled back on all fours.
"The Qin family... is beyond saving!"
"This special zone... is a giant den of iniquity!"
"I resign! I want to go home and farm!"
"I'm never coming back to this awful place to suffer again!"
